Acrylic Primed Linen Panel - 1/8" Baltic Birch

DESCRIPTION

Be advised: 1/8" panels have a tendency to warp.

Trekell’s Acrylic Primed Linen – 1/4" Baltic Birch Panels are made from prime Baltic birch cut to 1/8” and sealed with Golden GAC100. The linen – Claessens Linen #13, portrait-grade and imported from Belgium – is glued to the panel with solvent-free Beva film and then primed with two layers of titanium white. Acrylic users, it doesn’t get any easier than this. And with these premium elements, it doesn’t get any nicer, either.

Trekell knows stretching your own linen can be a pain, but that inconvenience shouldn't keep you from using one of the best painting surfaces on the market. Our fine, portrait-grade linen imported from Belgium – home of the linen-making masters – is intricately weaved and painstakingly prepared to offer maximum durability and longevity, meaning whatever work you place upon it will hold and last through the ages. The linen in question is the renowned Claessens Linen #13, primed with two layers of titanium white and bound with Beva film, a solvent-free adhesive maximizing the panel's archival properties. And, since this premium linen is paired with a versatile partner as its skeleton, you also get the virtues of a wood panel: the careful and exacting construction that could only be accomplished in our USA-based factory; the sturdy rigidity that won't flex underneath your brush; the ability to showcase brushstrokes with an unmatched clarity; and the vibrancy and end-to-end, unimpeded space that's as wide open as your imagination. Sealed with Golden GAC100 and with linen pre-primed for acrylic, you can start working as soon as Trekell ships it right to your door. Sounds like we did all of the hard work, right? Try one today and free yourself up to create your next masterpiece.

Perfect panel for traveling

I took one of these panels on a recent trip out west, to use for some plein air painting with acrylics. I love how light they are, and how smoothly the paint could be applied to the surface. I've worked on similar panels by other manufacturers before with a "canvas like" texture, and found myself fighting that pseudo canvas. So glad to have found these, and for the price and quality you can't go wrong!
